The house was built in late 1800s, but has been retrofitted with electric and central air and heat, which worked very well. St. Augustine is killer hot in July. The location is great, being only a few blocks from the fort, where we were able to watch the amazing fireworks, which is the reason we rented for the weekend. It's easy to come to St. Augustine on the 4th and view the fireworks, but not so easy to leave after the show. Getting out of the city is a nightmare and takes hours on the 4th.. It was nice to be able to relax back at the house after just a short walk from the show. The house was clean, interesting, sitting in a nice neighborhood close to shops. Driveway holds two cars. The antiques were a nice touch, especially the 1936 antique electric Edison stove .

We came for a girls birthday weekend and had an amazing time! This home was perfectly located across from an excellent coffee shop, Juniper Cafe. Highly recommend it!The home was clean and so cool with old features and decor. The size was perfect for 5 people to each have their own bed. No one in our group wanted to share a bed! The location of this home made this the perfect getaway! We could walk to the Fort and shopping/restaurant areas. Would definitely stay here again! Host was quick to respond to my little questions and accommodating to my requests. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

This was my second stay here because the location is perfect and the house is wonderful!! It's just a few minute walk to St. George St., the Fort, Ripley's Museum but out of the chaos. The neighborhood is excellent and neighbors are friendly. I will always choose this house if it's available when I have friends and family come to visit.
